Mission
The formation of lay ministers
through a process which invites and accompanies participants
in discerning their call to parish ministry with the dying and the
bereaved
in the light of Catholic faith.
We Value
The dying and the bereaved …
the sacredness of all human life
respect for the special
needs of the dying and the bereaved
Reflective Ministry …
formation as an ongoing journey of encounter with the
mystery of Christ
in human experience
discernment as an ongoing process of listening to God’s
call and
responding, in conversation with the parish community
and the
Stepping Stones formation process and personnel
relationships as a key dimension of formation for
ministry:
between the parish
community and those it invites to explore their
call to ministry with the
dying and the bereaved
between parish,
participants and formation personnel
The missionary parish working together …
aware of the needs in its area
calling and authorising its members to reach out to the
dying and the
bereaved
collaborating through team ministry which builds on the
strengths of
different ministers
sharing and celebrating faith around experiences of
dying, death and
bereavement
